Chapter 6:
Meanwhile, Kagome is just finishing packing up things, as soon as she's finished with that her, Inuyasha and their group will be leaving.
"So, you guys are heading out?" Heiri asks. Inuyasha looks over his shoulder at her and then turns to face her. "Yeah, we've got a lot of work to do. We need to locate the rest of the shards of the Sacred Shikon Jewel and hunt down Naraku to take him down." Says Inuyasha. "Will we ever run into you guys again?" Ani asks. "I'm sure you will. I mean, if we're both looking for Naraku. Well, I have no doubts we'll see each other again." Says Kagome. Miroku then takes Heiri's hands. "Until then, I'll surely miss you ladies." Miroku says. Sango pulls him by his ear and drags him away. "Let's go, Monk! See you around guys." Says Sango.
Kirara then turns from her kitten size into her full grown size.
Sango and Miroku climb onto Kirara's back.
Shippo climbs up next. "Bye Ani, bye Heiri. I hope to see you again." Shippo says.
"Seeya, Shippo." Says Heiri. "Don't get into any trouble either. Bye, Kirara." Ani says.
Kirara flies off, heading North.
"Let's go Kagome. Climb on up." Says Inuyasha. Kagome climbs onto his back and he carries her, piggybacking her. "Seeya around sometime." Inuyasha says. He then takes off, following after Kirara and the others. "Goodbye, see you later." Says Kagome, waving back at Heiri, Ani, Allie and Ashuri.
Only Ani and Allie wave back, Ashuri and Heiri do not.
"Well Allie. I hate to say goodbye, but I must be on my way, too. I have to hunt down Naraku and kill him, for my fallen comrades." Koga says. "You are really brave, Koga. To go up against someone like him." Says Allie. "Yeah, I know. Well, I hope to see you again sometime." Koga says. He then kisses Allie on the forehead, softly, and starts to head off. "Let's go boys." Says Koga.
"Wait, Koga." Allie says.
Koga turns to look over his shoulder at her.
"Um, if you ever run into my sister, will you kill her?" Asks Allie.
"That depends on her. If she tries to attack and kill me, then I'll have to defend myself. If she doesn't, well, then that's a different story. But if it makes you feel any better, I'll do what I can to help her and bring her back to you, unharmed if I can." Koga says.
"Thank you, Koga. I would appreciate it." Says Allie.
Koga nods, in acknowledgment, and then takes off in a fast tornado.
The wolves soon run off after Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku do, too.
Allie, Heiri and Ani wave goodbye to them, Ashuri doesn't.
Rin, Jaken and A-Un walk up to them. "Are you guys leaving, as well?" Ashuri asks. "Yes, but we have to wait for Lord Sesshomaru to return. He left last night." Says Rin.
Just then, A-Un lifts up both of his heads, as if he's sniffing the air. "What is it, A-Un?" Rin asks. She looks in the direction A-Un's heads are pointing at. "Oh, Master Jaken look. Lord Sesshomaru has returned." Says Rin. She runs over to greet Sesshomaru.
Jaken follows after, leading A-Un by the reins on his heads. "Ready to go?" Sesshomaru asks. "Yes, my Lord." Says Rin. Sesshomaru then turns to head in the direction he came and she follows close beside him. Jaken and A-Un catch up behind them. Rin then turns, waving goodbye to Ashuri and the others. "Goodbye." Rin says.
This time Ashuri actually does wave and so do the others. "So, it's just us again." Says Heiri. "Yes, I guess it is." Allie says. "So, what shall we do now?" Asks Ashuri. Both Allie and Heiri shrug. Ani's then suddenly leaving, Heiri notices. "Hey, where are you going, Ani?" Heiri asks. "Oh, um. I shouldn't trouble you girls anymore. You girls have a mission, to locate Naraku and get that bat demoness back from him. I'll just end up being in the way. I'm heading home where it's at least somewhat safer." Says Ani. "Wait Ani, who said you had to go?" Allie asks. "Or said that you were trouble and would get in the way?" Asks Heiri. "What do you mean?" Ani asks. "Well, we've been thinking and we've talked it over." Says Heiri. "And we came up with a decision." Allie says. "We want you to travel with us." Says Ashuri. "Seriously, you girls mean it? But I'm only a half-demoness. Are you sure you want me around? I mean, I'm useless when I become human." Ani says. "Ani, we don't care if you're a half-demoness. I mean, Heiri travels with us and she's a quarter-demoness. Ashuri and I have both seen Heiri lose her demoness powers and become human during her night of weakness. The only thing that matters is we could use that strong, caring heart of yours." Says Allie. "Oh, you girls are the best." Ani says. "So, which way should we go?" Asks Heiri. "Maybe we should head the way Koga and Inuyasha went. It seems that they know where Naraku's located." Ashuri says. "Wait Ashuri, I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with Naraku." Says Allie. "He hasn't done anything to us. I mean, Inuyasha, Koga and Sesshomaru have all had encounters with Naraku. We haven't yet, but it seems that, that's the only choice. We find Naraku, we find Adrian." Ashuri says. "It's that simple, huh?" Asks Allie, sarcastically. "It will be more difficult than it sounds, Allie." Ashuri says. "So, are we going the way Inuyasha and Koga went? Or are we heading the way Sesshomaru went?" Asks Heiri. "Um, I don't think Sesshomaru will like us tagging along with him. He seems like, well, Ashuri's type of demon." Ani says. "Wait, what do you mean by that, Ani?" Asks Ashuri. "I'm just saying. He kept his distance from us and, well, you seem to be the type of demoness who keeps her distance from others." Ani says. "I'm not like that… much." Says Ashuri. "Well, how about we do this then so we don't cause any arguments. Ani and I will go the way Inuyasha and Koga went, while you and Allie head the way Sesshomaru went." Heiri says. "Hm, it's not a bad idea." Says Ashuri. "We all agree then?" Allie asks. All four of them nod, in unison. "Alright, hands in." Says Heiri. She puts one of her hands out in front of herself. Ani places one of hers on top of Heiri's. Ashuri then puts one of hers on top of Ani's and last Allie places one of hers on top of hers. "May we all be safe." Ashuri says. "And careful." Says Ani. "Please, everyone stay alive." Allie says. "And be triumphant in our mission." Says Heiri. Allie takes her hand away and so does Ashuri. "Good luck, you two." Allie says. She and Ashuri take off, heading in the direction Sesshomaru went.
"Lets go, Ani. I hope you can keep up with me." Says Heiri. She runs off.
Ani follows after Heiri and is soon running right beside her, very much capable of keeping up with her, as they head the way Inuyasha and Koga went.
